Crews located in Mackay

We have crews located in Mackay, backed by our wider team when a job needs extra people or specialist skills. Sites within 100 km of one of our depots have no mobilisation charge. Where flights are required, we confirm those costs with you before you accept the quote, so there are no surprises.

Longer programs are cheaper. Our duration discounts step down the rate as the total length of your project grows, across both labour and equipment, so a month-long clearing campaign costs less per day than a one-off shift.

Industries we support in the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday region

We work alongside project owners, contractors and consultants on:

  • Bowen Basin coal mine expansions, haul roads and rail loops

  • Port, industrial and council works around Mackay and Bowen
  • Residential and tourism builds on the Whitsunday coast

Local fauna know-how

Bowen Basin approvals often call for targeted searches for koalas, greater gliders and the ornamental snake, which favours gilgai and cracking clay country. Our crews know how to inspect hollows, stage clearing for sequential felling, and work safely around the brown snakes and pythons that are common in the region. Every animal found is recorded in a format that suits your approval conditions.

Towns we service

Mackay, Sarina, Proserpine, Airlie Beach, Bowen, Collinsville, Moranbah, Dysart, Middlemount, Clermont and every Bowen Basin mine in between.
